[patch 7/7] timekeeping: Reduce seqcount section to update timekeeper/xtime

[Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>]

[-- Attachment #1: timekeeping-reduce-seqcnt-section-more.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1058 bytes --]

The calculation of the timekeeping values is now decoupled from
timekeeper/xtime which are used by the readers. So we can confine the
seqcount section to the mere update of the reader side data.
